EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Harvesting at Trenance" transports us back to the year 1900 in Mullion, Cornwall. The image beautifully captures a moment of intergenerational farming, showcasing Mr Richard Harvey and his workers diligently harvesting crops on the picturesque fields of Trenance. What makes this photograph truly remarkable is the inclusion of two contrasting elements that add depth and intrigue to the scene. In the distance, we can spot the Marconi Signal Station standing tall against the coastal backdrop. This symbol of modernity stands as a stark contrast to the traditional farming practices depicted in the foreground. Further enhancing this juxtaposition is another notable structure -the Poldhu Hotel- which was built specifically to accommodate workers involved in Marconi's groundbreaking wireless telegraphy experiments. Its presence behind the signal station serves as a reminder of how progress and innovation were rapidly transforming even remote rural areas like Mullion. Through this single frame, Historic England has masterfully captured not only an important aspect of Victorian-era agriculture but also hints at society's transition into a new technological era. It serves as a testament to our ever-evolving world where tradition and progress coexist side by side. This extraordinary archival print invites us to reflect upon our past while contemplating how far we have come since then – both in terms of technology and agricultural practices.
